The paper also includes translation and questions about literary works, so reading the original Persian texts matters. We’ve collected the Persian CSS past papers issued by FPSC from 2016 to 2026 below.

Iqbal appeared in all three papers from 2024 to 2026. The 2024 question was about his life and writings, but in 2025 and 2026, the focus shifted to his philosophy of khudi. There were questions about the Persian language itself as well. In 2024, candidates were asked about ancient Persian, and in 2026, about the languages spoken in Iran before Islam. The translation passages were quite varied. Isfahan was the subject in 2024, Iqbal in 2025, and Shah Abdul Latif Bhittai in 2026. Even when a writer or topic returns, the question may ask for something quite different.
